Abstract: The lorry attack on the Berlin Christmas Market on 19 December 2016 was the perfect reason for the German government to demand even stricter laws on counter-terrorism. With 12 people killed and 55 hurt it was the most severe individual attack since the neo-Nazi assault at the Oktoberfest in 1980. "The more that is published about Anis Amri the more absurd it seems that he was not deported," the German newspaper Welt said two days after the attack. Three weeks after the attack Der Spiegel was wondering why security authorities did not remove the radical who was earmarked for deportation. |
